Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 packages (1 oz each) dry onion soup mix

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat (or a boneless beef roast), cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 5 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 2–3 cups baby carrots

  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped

  • 2 cans (10 oz each) cream of celery soup

  • 1 cup ketchup (or substitute tomato sauce if preferred)

Instructions

  • In a large plastic bag, combine the dry onion soup mix and paprika. Add the beef pieces and shake to coat evenly. (You may need to do this in two batches.)

  • Place the coated beef evenly in a greased 7-quart Crock Pot. Top with diced potatoes, carrots, and chopped onion.

  • In a small bowl, mix the cream of celery soup with ketchup. Pour this mixture over the meat and vegetables.

  • Cover and cook on low heat for 7–8 hours, until the meat is tender and vegetables are cooked through.

  • Stir everything together before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, brown the beef in a skillet for 3–4 minutes per side before adding to the Crock Pot.

  • Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a few cloves of garlic for a richer taste.

  • If you prefer a thicker stew, stir in 1–2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with cold water in the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  • Leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld.
